TH9 - Defense maxed - what to do now?
Hey fellow clashers,
I'm currently sitting in front of a decision, either farming heroes or farming walls.
My Archer Queen is lvl21 (going to lvl22 right now).
My Barbarian King is lvl14 (never really cared about him).
Walls: 140pcs lvl8 and 110pcs lvl7.
Gold Grab is around 410m and HH is at 2.1m.
Defense is maxed.
Just wanted to know what I should do next, farming heroes to max or farming walls to lvl9?
Also, how far would you recommend me to max th9?
Walls were never important for me as I'm a lot in the champion legaue (also because of the DE) and yea, defense doesnt matter there.
Heroes were though, thats why I'm in that dilemma - I don't know what to do.
Any tips? Appreciate every help :)
The only people recommending you stay are TH9s who don't know better...

Here it goes.
Don't know how others feel about it but I firmly believe that TH9 is the best place to be at in CoC. There's so much more versatility here then anywhere else in the game. I farm in the Golds and smash TH8's to pieces all day long for gold and elixir. If I need DE I move up to the crystals and farm away. Trophy pushing, use Loonion to get to Champs.
Too many times I've seen Max Th10 defenses with purple walls or Level 15 Heroes, not the way i want to start out my TH10 adventure. If your a TH10 and have low level walls and heroes IMO you're at a HUUUUGE disadvantage. Why do that to yourself? Whatever decision you make you'll live with it and adjust accordingly. IMO stay at TH9 and Max it out, continue to enjoy CoC farming at it's best. IDK from experience but I'm almost positive it doesn't get any easier.
Shout out to VinnyXo and CloudWhiskey these guys gave me the motivation to Max out my TH9. Cheers!!
All of us who max our THs go through this debate, so I get the logic. However, there are two huge fallacies being bandied about on the forums from those that are TH9s:
1) DE is not better @ TH9. Why? Because TH8s don't have much DE. As soon as you're attacking TH9+, better to have 240 troops, higher levels, etc.
2) Walls make a difference, but probably only up to ~100 legos. There's a big difference between seeing a TH10 with purple walls and one with legos protecting loot (not funneling, these outside walls hardly matter). I'd stay until you've got some serious lego wall deterrent going on, but beyond that point all of us TH10s are going to bloonion the ♥♥♥♥ out of your base, and we're not deterred by your walls or the minor 10% loot penalty.
I'm not saying this for my own self interest. I love seeing TH9s who are deluded enough to have lava walls and 100k+ DE. We've all been there, but stop beating yourself up. You don't have purple walls. You're taking the right approach. But there are limits to that approach, and other dimensions to this game... Saving is a virture, hoarding just means you miss out on other things. Don't be a hoarder.
As the earlier poster said... nobody who was in your shoes and went to TH10 is complaining. Isn't that the only opinion that counts?
Yes, but the complainers aren't like you...

In fact, the thousands of pages of th10s complaining about loot is why I haven't moved up yet. i understand I can max th10 (other than walls) for less than the cost of just getting my lavas done, but that only matters if I can just as easily get loot at th10. I keep hearing it is terrible.
You're right that many people complain, but look at their bases.
Many of them don't even have skulls, most don't have legos and none of them have lava.
If 10 million people tell you loot is bad at TH10, but you have a more maxed base than 9.9 million of them, why would you listen to them?
For the rare person who's at your level and still complains, I'd ask if it was fun barching the same old TH8s for six months. If it was, then good for them. To be fair, it's gotten easier to stay at TH9 now that we have elixir wall upgrades, but it's also gotten easier to get loot at TH10 with increased loot bonuses.
Whatever you do, don't listen to chumps... just make sure you're enjoying the game.
